The Brooklyn Museum has a new African art curator, and many are not happy with the new hire.

The museum announced on Monday that it had appointed Kristen Windmuller-Luna to manage the museumâs African art collections. She is a white woman.

According to the Huffington Post, âmost critics of the choice, including scholars who work in the field of art history, wondered why the museum couldnât find a qualified black candidate as a curator of African art. Some said the hire highlighted a general lack of diversity in the arts, while others suggested the hires were just another sign of Brooklynâs gentrification.â

The museum also announced that they had hired Drew Sawyer, a white man, as their photography curator.

I'm guessing @brooklynmuseum didn't go see The Black Panther because they just hired two new white curators for Brooklyn Museumâs extensive African art collection. Not to discredit their qualifications or whatever but y'all couldn't find a qualified Black/African curator in NYC? pic.twitter.com/WQSt7nh092

Many over-qualified black curators...and yet, @brooklynmuseum? Not saying these ppl weren't qualified. They do, however, benefit from systems that privilege their candidacy over those of black curators https://t.co/vX1LtfuHR1

Wow. Black people make BK Museums #FirstTargetSaturdays the lituations that theyâve grown into. We have greatly contributed to revitalizing BK Museumâs culture & importance to Brooklyn. So, this is a direct slap in the face to that. Esp to the Black & POC LGBTQ+ community. https://t.co/YVXv6b3Dp6

The new hires highlight the fact that African-Americans only make up four percent of all curators, conservators, educators and museum leaders, according to a museum demographic survey coordinated by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2015.
